Then why did you present it as a zero-sum game where you were quite willing to suggest putting trans-women into a situation you find unconscionable for cis-women? You have thoroughly proved the original poster's point: TERF talking points are damaging. You bought one up, defending it as "reasonable", but when pressed you accept that there is a preferable solution that doesn't involve throwing trans people under the bus. The talking point is there to push a narrative that trans people are dangerous, just as was done with gay people before. It is designed to imply that we must choose between women's rights and trans people's rights, which is a false dichotomy.
